The submarine USS Bowfin engaged in surface gunnery practice off Guam in World War II

Near the end of World War 2, U.S. submarines were being refitted with extra guns and undertook more surface combat operations. Here, the USS Bowfin (SS-287) is seen in surface training activities off Guam, during May,1945. Its armament now includes (in addition to its original 4-inch/50 caliber deck gun) a Bofors 40mm aft of the conning tower and an Oerlikon 20mm cannon forward of it. As the Bowfin heads out, its deck gun is seen. Next, in a view from the conning tower fairwater, looking aft, the Bofors 40mm autocannon can be seen below. Scene shifts forward and then to side, where deck gun barrel is seen at extreme right of image. It fires at distant target boat. More views of targets being fired upon by autocannons and deck gun. Smoke rising from struck target. Sequence ends with the Bowfin firing a few rounds on its way back to Apra Harbor.

U.S. submarine crew receives and stores a torpedo, while at sea, in World War II

Crew of a U.S. submarine use cables, a steel pole, and lines to hoist and maneuver a torpedo that has just been delivered to them, while at sea, during World War 2. They maneuver the torpedo over the deck, using a steel pole and cables and lines. A blimp is seen overhead. A small escort craft is seen nearby. Back on deck, the sub crew has successfully lowered the torpedo into a hatch and are controlling it with lines as it descends into the interior of the submarine. They quickly disassemble their hoisting apparatus, when finished. Another view of the support craft.
